One more question Brad, considering all the saws you have had in your hands, which bone stock saw would a guy have to buy to compare to a muff modded 346xpNE?(which saw would you compare it to?) Not trying start a fight over brands, just asking your opinion, which I value! Thanks.

I would at least try to answer that, but it would take the thread in a direction I don't really want to go.
 
That's a pretty good change just from muffler mod. That cheaper part number for the deflector is good, also.
 
Hole size?

i sure could use a little help with the muffler pics and size hole would be great

359 EPA

I'm no expert,


I went by the theory bigger is better!


(I know, I know I weld like crap, but she runs gooood)

Mine has .750 I.D. tube running through the inside "baffle plate", with a flare on the side closest to the port. Basically a straight pipe, it's not butted against the flange, so I suppose some will still exit the stock (through the straw) location.

Brad,

Are you doing this for Niko's benefit? He's the only one that would cut wood that size.

Carry on,

ole joat

Birch that size turns into good firewood when dry, so I don't leave tops and branches that size in the woods....:)

The deflector is PN 503 58 99-01 and costs me $8.74.

The spark arrestor screen is PN 503 40 56-01 and costs me $4.97.

The screws are from the hardware store.

I put those numbers into the search on Baileys web site nothing came back. Then I typed in the names and was able to find the deflector but I am still not able to find the screen. Can you recommend a supplier? Thanks
